Age Appropriate Foods for Dinner

May I offer some very useful information I learned today?  
It is not a good idea to feed couscous to a four year old girl whose nickname is Messy Bessy, and a one year old boy, just learning to feed himself.  It does not have a happy ending for Mom.  Sorry, no pictures...I couldn't believe the mess, and just stood there stunned for about five minutes.  By the time I came to, the one year old was begging to be saved from his mess in his highchair and Messy Bessy was asking for more - which I promptly answered "NO!".   I had to send them both to their room so I could get my bearings and decide where to begin the cleanup.  I did have to laugh though; as I watched the one year old walk down the hallway, there was a trail of couscous falling out of his pant leg.   Aaah, dinnertime....remember, it's one of my favorite times of the day!

Hey, atleast you tried to feed them something healthy! Good for you. I never thought messes bugged you. What happened?

Um, I don't even know what that is, but it sounds like a pretty eventful meal-wish there were photos! : )
